Essentials of Human Embryology
This is the condensed version of Human Embryology 2E by William J Larsen. This concise textbook provides detailed coverage of the concepts and principles that underlie human development. The book meets the needs of medical students in gross anatomy and embryology courses and provides a view of exciting applications that are currently in use or are on the horizon.
Features:
* Coverage reflects the latest information on human genetics and molecular biology, including the impact of regulatory genes on embryologic development.
* Summaries at the beginning of each chapter facilitate review.
* Applications to Clinical Practice sections at the end of most chapters explain the practical relevance of the information.
* Full-page timelines illustrate embryonic development over days, weeks, and months.
* A wealth of extraordinary illustrations--including colourful three-dimensional drawings, colour photographs, and crisp, black-and-white electron micrographs--vividly demonstrate the full range of embryologic developmental features.
* The book's author maintains a worldwide web site that complements the coverage found in Essentials of Human Embryology (http://www.med.uc.edu/embryology).
* This web site features animated sequences, based on the book's 3-D drawings, that demonstrate developmental mechanics. The web site also includes a self-testing program, as well as updates that present new regular advances in human developmental biology and clinical practice.
